My Hapax recently arrived I and have been having a lot of fun with it. I use it with my modular system and currently don’t own any MIDI gear or interfaces so I’ve been making good use of the CV/Gate outputs.
When using it in Live / drum mode with the ER-301 (using a cv out to index into sample slices and a gate out to trigger them) one thing I struggled with was routing the velocity of the track to an arbitrary CV output without overriding the cv that picked the slices. I’ve looked searched through the manual a bunch without any luck. I wanted to post here to see if I’m missing something and this is of interest before creating a feature request ticket.
For me, this would be a very nice feature to have. Of course, there are some workarounds:
- Using the Automation section (not perfect and unable to use the drum velocity feature but it kind of works)
- Buying an FH-1/MIDI to CV converter … I might end up doing this but would rather not since I already have a sequencer in the rack
Is it possible to send velocity and pad values in parallel through CV?
If not, is this something that others would benefit from?
EDIT - Of course, I figured it out right after posting this: you push and twist the encoders of the corresponding pad.
Looks like when I change the value after holding and twisting the corresponding encoder, the main output for the track changes as well. So, my original question remains.
